Footballers allow homeless to stay at hotel site over winter

Former Manchester United footballers Gary Neville and Ryan Giggs have given a group of homeless people who have occupied their Norfolk Street hotel development permission to stay at the site through the winter.

Neville and Giggs have been given planning permission to turn the Grade II listed former Manchester Stock Exchange into a 35-bedroom hotel. The building was occupied on Sunday by a group known as Manchester Angels, led by Wesley Hall.

Hall said the protestors were happy to agree to surveyors and other workers being allowed access to the building, as Neville had requested.
